During a large geomagnetic storm occurred on 15 May 2005, the FAST satellite encountered a local onset of substorm identified by the far ultraviolet (FUV) imager onboard the IMAGE satellite. At this time, FAST observed Broad-Band Electrons (BBEs), which were electron flux enhancements over a broad energy range (50 eV-30 keV) at the lower latitude side of the auroral oval (-58°--65° ILAT in this BBE event). Ground-based magnetograms measured a geomagnetic H-bay and Pi2 pulsations started around the post-midnight sector at ~0655 UT. At the same time, energetic particle injections were observed by the geosynchronous LANL satellite. The auroral intensification identified by IMAGE-FUV started at 0655 UT at a magnetic local time (MLT) of ~3 h. From 3 min after the onset, FAST observed the BBEs at 0658-0703 UT, 3 MLT, and -58°--65° ILAT (footprint of -54°--60°MLAT) above the auroral emission region. These data clearly show that the BBEs occur at the auroral brightening region at the onset of a storm-time substorm. The auroral emission region due to the precipitation of the BBEs lasted for ~10 min at ~-50°--60° MLAT and ~3-6 MLT. In this presentation, we also report spatial relationships between BBEs and the plasmapause in order to investigate the source region of the BBEs for 8 events selected from the BBE event list created in previous multi-event studies using the data from the Plasma Wave and Sounder (PWS) experiments on board the Akebono satellite.
